Chapter 146 Player: 2 eyes and 1 open is the best
Chapter 146 Player: As soon as you open your eyes, you will feel tired
One player started playing as he spoke, preparing to change his talent.
Among the three functions of the Candle Spirit Tree, the consumption of the re-prayer gift is the highest, requiring 50 wax oil each time, the promotion gift is 30 wax oil each time, and the strengthening ability is also 30 each time.
It seems that the power consumption is not too high, at least compared with the functions it provides, it feels a bit cheap.
It seems that due to the increase in the number of players, the various building functions of Lingzhu are no longer limited to touching fire, but after entering a certain range, they can be selected through game upgrades, which makes it more convenient.
[Do you want to consume 50 wax oil and pray for the gift again? ]
[50 wax oil has been consumed, praying for a blessing again...]
[Randomly selecting talents...]
As the wax disappeared, the player who tried it first saw flames flying out of his body and merging into the "leaves" of the Candle Spirit Tree.
At the same time, a flame fell down, replacing the previous flame and merging into his body.
【Pray again for success! 】
[Intelligence (ashes) → Bloodthirsty Blade (emers)]
[Blood-draining Blade (Embers): Melee attacks that cause damage will slightly restore your own health, Strength +1]
“Holy crap?” Seeing this, the player was pleasantly surprised. “It has directly become an ember quality talent? It has built-in lifesucking ability? Awesome!”
“Hahahahaha, worth it!”
The player was immediately excited. He originally played melee combat but his talent was in the spiritual direction, so he always felt awkward and wanted to change his talent.
I didn’t expect that this first modification would produce a good talent, that’s awesome!
"Hmm? 50 wax oil can be exchanged for an ember quality talent? It's worth it!"
"Do you think I could give it a try?"
“Is there a talent of slag quality?”
Seeing that the first player was so comfortable, others also began to be tempted, and soon a group of players lined up to start re-praying for their talents.
However... the players behind seem to have worse and worse luck.
"It's also a talent of ember quality! But the effect is average, forget it..."
"Shit, why do I only have the most basic one?"
"You can be happy that your talent is useful, but my talent is just rubbish..."
After several players failed, everyone finally understood the meaning of "probability". It seems that it is not so easy to get the desired talent.
Of course, there are also some lucky people who are "extremely lucky". After getting good talents, they naturally want to show off with their noses up to the sky.
This would of course make other players jealous and envious, and then they would buy more money and continue to consume more wax oil on the Candle Spirit Tree...
……
And Rogge was peeking at the screen in secret.
"I like this guy. I think he said I'm handsome on the forum last time. Give me a reward!"
"I've never seen this kid before, give me a normal one and charge it a few more times."
"Wow, good boy, you scolded me so harshly on the forum and said I was narrow-minded. Am I narrow-minded? I'll give you a rubbish, keep charging me!"
"..."
Roger had a lot of fun.
That’s right, this “probability” was actually specially created by Rogge.
Although the selection of talents is relatively random, the probability is not as bad as it appears.
As for the subsequent promotion of talents and enhanced abilities, there is no such thing as "probability of success".
Rogge was just looking for an excuse to enrich himself.
The candle spirit body of him, the candle keeper, also needs to be upgraded.
Let the players suffer a little more.
……
The real world gradually arrived at night.
As a large number of players came online, Lingzhu became more lively.
Naturally, Li Miao came to the Candle Spirit Tree with great interest.
"Do you want to change your talent?"
"...Forget it. Although this talent is not outstanding, it is still okay. Let's just promote it directly."
After hesitating for a while, Li Miao decided to retain his talent and promote it.
According to the players' attempts and summaries during the day, they found that talents also have corresponding grades, but a high grade does not necessarily mean a high talent strength. For example, some talents that improve the proficiency of specific weapons are relatively useless.
After making the decision, Li Miao did not hesitate any longer and began to improve his talents.
[30 wax oils have been consumed, and the gift is being promoted...]
[Promoting talent...]
[Promotion successful! 】
[Strong (ashes) → Strong (emeralds)]
[Strong Body (Embers): Slightly increases physical strength recovery speed, physical fitness +1]
Li Miao was happy to see that he succeeded in his first promotion. The probability was not as low as others on the forum said.
Thinking of this, he decided to keep working hard and upgrade his talent to the slag level again.
But this time his luck was not so good.
[50 wax oils have been consumed, and the gift is being promoted...]
【Promotion failed.】
Seeing this, Li Miao's face froze: "No, 50% of the wax oil is gone just like that?"
He was speechless.
However, he still had plenty of wax left on his hands. Thinking of this, Li Miao decided to try twice more.
After failing once more, he finally succeeded in upgrading his talent to the slag grade.
[Promotion successful! 】
[Strong Body (Embers) → Strong Body (Slag)]
[Solid Body (Slag): Slightly increases physical strength recovery speed and resistance to blows, physical fitness +1]
"Not bad, not bad." Li Miao breathed a sigh of relief when he finally succeeded.
If he fails again, he will have to put it aside for the time being.
After all, whether it is a second-level Demon Hut or a third-level Spirit Fire Port, it requires a lot of wax oil.
What's more, he was also planning to strengthen the candle spirit's abilities.
After upgrading his talent, Li Miao then turned his attention to the [Enhance Ability] function.
Compared with the previous function, there are more "pay-to-win" points for enhancing abilities.
So far, players can unlock a total of five abilities: dodge, recovery wax block, block, critical strike and candlelight bone whistle.
Each of the five abilities can be enhanced.
And every time the enhancement is successful, the consumption of the enhancement will increase...
Li Miao's savings obviously cannot support him to spend lavishly to upgrade all his capabilities.
So, after thinking for a moment, he decided to start with [Dodge].
[Do you want to consume 30 wax oils to enhance your dodge ability? ]
"It turns out that the initial dodging skills are not advanced..." Li Miao couldn't help but mutter.
Now he finally understood why the forum was so polarized, with a group of players scolding the planner and another group of players disagreeing.
Many players thought it was ridiculous that a fighting game had only a 50% success rate for a basic mechanism like "dodge". I didn't expect it to be waiting here.
It's a scam, right?
Even this ability needs to be strengthened step by step by consuming wax oil... Is it to prevent big players from killing gods directly?
Thinking of this, Li Miao couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, he did not care about this too much like other players. On the contrary, he thought this kind of character development was quite interesting.
After collecting his thoughts, Li Miao quickly began his own improvement.
[30 wax oils have been consumed, and the dodge ability is being strengthened...]
[Strengthening successful, ability effect updated! ]
[Dodge: A gift from the Spirit Candle. When you roll, jump, or crawl, there is a 60% chance that you will be immune to the next damage.]
The probability directly increased by 10%!
Li Miao touched his chin. In fact, in his opinion, there was no difference between the probability of 50% and 1%. It was a matter of whether you hit the target or not. If you were unlucky, you would still get beaten.
Never mind, I’ve become stronger anyway.
Thinking of this, Li Miao strengthened it twice more.
And then they all failed.
This made his face darken, and he suddenly began to understand those players who scolded the planners...
……
The forum is not very active during the day.
In the evening, when everyone was online, Lingzhu's forum became lively, and the discussions were naturally about the content of this update.
Snake, Chicken, Ox, Tiger: "I'm sick of it. The basic abilities of game characters are sold separately, just to cheat players? I can't stand it. The internal test is like this. I can't imagine what the krypton gold will be like in the public test!"
I suppress all enemies: "It starts again, it starts again, the classic posting complaints before entering the game. I just like the way you trolls can't enter the game and can only get angry and criticize blindly. (laugh)"
Parisian feces: "I laughed too. Really, would the players in the game care about these things? I've long been accustomed to the fighting style of moving in advance. Let's put it this way, I can still play even if I throw away this dodge ability."
Er Mihu: "Actually, the poster is our wizard player."
Baga Cat: "Fuck you, are you playing a black role?"
Geology Monkey: "This guy is an old eighth player!"
Forest Lake: "I have to say this plan is really incredible, I mean in terms of probability."
Bucket Washing Red Bean: "Ah? Is the planning against the sky? I don't think so. After all, I only spent 80 wax oil to upgrade to the slag-grade violent thorn ability. Alas, this ability is just average. They all say that this ability is superb, but I am usually a very low-key person and don't like to talk about my good luck."
Captain Dragonfly: "Upstairs, wait a minute, I'll go cut some fruit for you."
The zodiac guardian of the kidneys: "Versailles, huh? Very good. I'm very angry now. Come over here and squat for a while..."
Well known.
There is only one reason why most people hate lottery draws in games.
I wasn't the winner.
This was told to Rogge by a friend who used to be a game developer, otherwise he would not have done this to exploit the players.
As for other content in this update, the Demon Hut has hardly received much attention from players, with only some farming players cheering slightly.
They still put more of their energy into the Candlefire Spirit Horse and new abilities.
"Brothers, I just reset the Exile Island dungeon, and specifically attacked the imbalance of the Law Knight so that he would be executed. I finally got my revenge when I first entered the game! Hahahahaha, so cool!"
"6, you have a narrow mind even smaller than the candle keeper."
"Oh, it's so hard to make the wizard unbalanced. I also want to use magic to execute him..."
"Let's go find Mr. Burton. I learned the Mytelos Stone Technique before, which can make the opponent lose balance very quickly. However, this thing actually deals physical damage... It's a bit too close to reality..."
"Ahhhh brothers, this Candlefire Spirit Horse is so handsome, my little pony, my little pony, muahmuah, why can't we ride horses on Candlefire Island? I really want to ride it and have a gallop!"
“You can ride it in the coastal town and Casa Peninsula dungeons.”
"Damn it, what should I do if my horse is chopped to death by Brother Wolf?"
"Resurrected at the Spirit Candle."
"Hahaha, I let you fool around and even rode into the basement. Now the horse is gone, right?"
"Deduct 1 to revive your horse."
"Ah~~~ I really love this new ability of critical strike. This backstab is so cool!"
"..."
After discovering that there are two maps that allow horse riding, a group of players quickly started doing all kinds of suicidal activities with great joy.
Some people rode the Candlelight Horse into the sea and tried to turn it into a seahorse.
There are also little geniuses who ride into the basement and ride horses around the room.
Some new players began to experiment with the Candlelight Spirit Horse using various weapons, and began to test the Candlelight Spirit Horse's ability to withstand attacks...
Seeing this series of actions, Rogge frowned and shook his head... Fortunately, the Candlefire Spirit Horse actually does not have any intelligence, otherwise it would be too tragic.
However, there are still many players who use the Candlefire Spirit Horse for the right purpose.
For example... becoming a real knight.
After all, there is a “horse” in the word “knight”.
When players ride on the Candlefire Spirit Horse, they can actually receive a speed bonus, which allows players to use some novel combat methods.
For example, charging with a frost lance can be quite powerful.
Perhaps the only thing you need to note is that the Candlefire Spirit Horse has very little health. If it receives some damage in battle, it will disappear directly and needs to be resurrected at the Spirit Candle.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Rogue could have restored the Candlefire Spirit Horse to its original health, but if he did so, it would consume more wax oil when it was resurrected after death. This was the same as when a player's Candlefire Spirit body was taken away and needed to be reshaped.
Save some costs.
……
After the version update, players' lives gradually became unreliable.
The demand for wax oil from Lingzhu is really too great.
The opening and upgrading of various spirit candle buildings, the promotion and strengthening of one's own character abilities, weapons and equipment, battle ash magic... almost nothing can be done without spending "money".
It’s fine if I work during the day, but as soon as I close my eyes at night, I enter the game and I’m busy playing. I feel like vomiting when I see Prisoners of Exile…
The players on the forum also created a lot of memes, such as the planner whipping the player with a whip, the player and the rotten prisoner's incredible position, etc...
The popularity of the game has not decreased but increased, and Rogge has more and more reserve players.
The players of Zhuxin Island also recently discovered something interesting.
"No, brothers, I am dying of laughter. If you have time, you can come to Zhuxin Island to have a look. There is a newbie who fights with the fishman coach with bare hands without any weapons... (laughing and crying)"
"Ah? Your first time fighting in free fighting on Zhuxin Island?"
"I remember that there were newbies who used to give their Murloc coach the Seven Days Lock of Love Stronger than Gold. Hahahaha, nowadays newbies are having more and more fun."
A group of players were having a great time in the world chat.
However, just as they were chatting animatedly, other players spoke up.
"Brothers, it may be a little too early for you to laugh..."
"I've been watching for a long time. It seems like this newbie is deliberately not killing the murloc while keeping his HP low so he can practice his reaction!"
"He himself was also at a low level, and he sold it on purpose."
"Also...he's a blank slate, he doesn't use any abilities."
"And... it's not just one murloc, but a group of murlocs..."
Conceiving a new map... Let me be short for one day, hehe
